Paul Merton - The Series
Guests
Caroline Quentin

This show seems like a deliberate throwback to the madcap sketch shows of the '60's, such as 'At Last The 1948 Show' and 'Marty'. Merton takes a situation, such as a father telling his daughter she's adopted, turned it inside out (he tells her she isn't actually adopted), and by piling absurdity on absurdity, creates an explosion of inspired comic lunacy. The sketches were linked by surreal monologues such as 'there's a time tunnel at the back of my fridge'; delivered of course from a railway station tobacconist's. My copies of these 2 seiries are from TV and NOT commercial releases (which I don't think exist).

The celebrity travelogue takes many forms, from the wheedling nosiness of Alan Whicker to the eager scoutmaster approach of Michael Palin. Paul Merton’s preferred method is to tumble blindly into unfamiliar situations and then deadpan his way to safety. He’s at it again with a new six-part series for Five, Paul Merton in Europe, following on from his expeditions to China and India.

 

Paul Merton
Oxford Union Q and A.

As the titles says, this a Question and Answer session at Oxford University Student Union.

As it's only 50 minutes in length, you can add another show [of approx 70 mins] so you end up with 120 mins [2 hours] of material on a single DVD. It can be anything from this site, not just Mr Merton related.

Paul Merton also does the character voices in the animation series Rex The Runt and Crapston Villas
